It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!

Ok. Here's something for you. Maybe this forum exists solely to answer this Chopin question that I have. I recently played a collection of variations on "Happy Birthday" by Denes Agay. One of the variations was in the style of Frederic Chopin. I want to know what piece or pieces of Chopin music this variation was modeled after. The variation is in 9/8 time, in a minor key, and marked "Andante con moto". The main left hand technique is a series of 9 eighth notes each measure, with the first eighth note the root of a chord, and the remaining 8 eighth notes the other notes of the chord. The right hand technique is maintaining a single melody line, and a short cadenza. Any ideas what pieces of Chopin music might fit this description?

This question is probably more appropriate for the Pianist Corner forum, so I'll post it there too.
